The Flawed Integration of Aircraft Carriers in World of Warships

The issue with aircraft carriers (CV) in World of Warships has long been a topic of debate among players. For those who have followed the game's development, it is clear that CVs do not fit seamlessly into the tactical level naval engagement. In fact, they are often seen as strategic assets rather than tactical combat boats. This fundamental misunderstanding has led to numerous attempts to shoehorn and shapeshift CVs into the game's mechanics, with disappointing results.

At their core, CVs serve a singular purpose: to maintain aircraft and support pilots. They are not designed for direct combat, but rather as mobile airfields that provide strategic flexibility on the battlefield. This is evident in the fact that most players do not enjoy playing with CVs, with approval ratings consistently below 20%.

The current state of CVs in World of Warships has led to frustration among many players. To address this issue, we propose two potential solutions: either remove CVs as a playable class or limit their participation in Random battles to a maximum of one per side across all tiers.

Furthermore, the recent addition of AA builds in every battle has made it even more challenging for non-CV players to enjoy the game. It is logical that those who do not play CVs should focus on building ships with anti-air capabilities and dealing significant damage to air-based threats.

Despite numerous attempts at reworking the CV system, including a major overhaul in 2019, independent polls and player surveys have consistently shown low approval ratings for CVs. The majority of players find them detrimental to the gaming experience, while only a small fraction consider them enriching.

In conclusion, Wargaming must address the fundamental issues with aircraft carriers in World of Warships. We respectfully request that you reconsider the CV rework and implement meaningful changes that will improve the overall player experience.
